"Salsa" - Salsa can refer to a Latin American dance step, the music to dance to, or a variety of sauces and vegetables used as condiments in Latin cuisine. This style would be known as Salsa Criollo since no tomatoes are used here. Mexican, Puerto Rican, Peruvian and Argentinian styles are similar. Cowboy Caviar is also known as Texas Caviar in that state.
